Previously on Iyanu...
I shall erase magic from Yorubaland,
and this Child of Wonder as well.
I am so proud of what you've become.
Here, you will need these.
They belonged to your father.
As I was saying,
I fully intend to repair Elu's relationship
with the settlements beyond the walls.
If we get out of this,
maybe we could take a trip down the river.
Seriously?
[leopard snarling
Ekun!
Hello, old friend!
Team Chosen, reunited!
Where have you been?
It's a long story.
I'm sure it is.
I cannot imagine what would disturb
the Divine Objects so much.
Twice in as many days.
She is coming,
and I will end her.
"Fight The Corrupt, Siju."
"You'll get promoted, Siju,"
and yet we're still stuck on guard duty!
At least we are not on the cleanup crews.
Remember what the gorillas left
in the Elu Mesi chamber?
So... much... filth!
I'm just glad
that possessed monster Nuro is now in prison,
and things are back to normal.
Huh?
Teju, is this place ever normal?
- Halt! - Who goes there!
Aw!
Aren't you just the cutest?
Who's my little guy?
Who's my sweet little guy?
Isn't he precious?
Adorable.
I'm keeping him.
The Oba is back.
So soon?
This cannot be good.

Oba Uwa!
Hey!
The Oba returns!
Oba Uwa.
Omolola.
I'm glad to see you are both--
General Kanfo,
we must speak
immediately.
The People of the Deep?
I'm afraid so.
We fear an attack is imminent.
But, Oba,
the Eso haven't seen anything suspicious
since my son and the Chosen cleansed the land.
If the Deep had a force moving towards Elu,
we would know.
Unless their forces were already here.
Olori says spies have infested settlements
across Yorubaland,
and are now poised to strike.
I may not trust the Agoni,
but if you say the threat is real,
then the Eso shall meet it.
The rest of you, resume your duties.
Help your districts.
Heal this land,
but be alert.
The People of the Deep are coming.
Oba...
I too share General Kanfo's doubts,
but perhaps I could send scouts downriver to investigate.
Omolola...
may I ask a favor?
Of course, Elder Ojuwa.
What do you need?
A leave of absence.
How would you like to take my seat on the council?
E mi Ke?
Me?
Are you certain?
I am certain you are ready to improve all of Elu,
not just the Workers' district.
What troubles you, General?
My son.
He's out there alone,
searching for artifacts.
If Olori is right,
then he may be in grave danger...
again.
He is with the Chosen, old friend.
Iyanu will keep him safe.
Biyi...
Aah!
Biyi!
I'm sorry.
I... I didn't--
I know I've been away for a while
and dealing with my feelings,
but...
I forgot how much Mama Sewa meant to you.
I'm sorry.
I should have come back sooner.
Biyi, your beads!
Wonda!
Ha!
Um, Biyi?
Maybe you should take it easy with the Divine weapon?
Relax, Toye, I've got this under--
Get down!
Uh!
Whoa!
Turn it off! Turn it off!
I'm trying!
Stupid beads!
Why can't I control you?
Why?!
Mama Sewa! Why?
Huh?
Many veterans were lost to the People of the Deep.
Many more to the Corrupt.
Now it is time to see
who among you can take their place.
Begin!
♪ Eso! Eso! Eso! Eso! ♪
♪ Eso! Eso! Eso! ♪
Congratulations.
Now... the real work begins.
We need you to scout the riverbeds
for a potential invasion from the People of the Deep.
You'll have no backup, no reinforcements.
Just the two of you,
alone, together.
"Alone"?
"Together"?
Aah!
Move out!
Any luck translating that scroll, Toye?
Hmm, I think so.
Some of my mother's old scrolls
have helped with translating the weird glyphs.
So far, I can pick out...
..." wonders,"
"emissary,"
and "fire"...
Biyi!
You need to be careful.
And you need to be useful,
scroll boy!
Give him space, child.
It's not fair, Ekun.
Iyanu's the Chosen,
Olori's an Agoni priestess,
Biyi has his beads...
You know what I have?
Scrolls!
Why... isn't this... working?
You'll get it, Biyi.
It just takes time.
I remember how hard it was
when I was learning how to use my powers...
back with Mama Sewa.
Yeah.
You were pretty bad.
Hey!
How dare you strike the Chosen?
It will be all right, Biyi.
Besides, things can't get any worse.
Noble Boju,
a message.
Queen Adura,
our spies report
that the Chosen is only a quarter day's journey away.
Are you certain you're ready to confront her?
Yes...
I am.
I got you!
Biyi?
A moment, please.
Show me what you can do with the Water Bead.
Sure, uh, okay...
Ha!
Oya...
Do the water thing!
Hmm.
It is as I feared.
You, young one,
have lost your purpose.
"Purpose"?
What do you mean?
During the Age of Wonders,
the Divine Nugo created the Set of Seven
for a specific reason...
so no normal person could use them.
Anger,
fear,
aggression,
and vengeance
won't activate them.
It must come from somewhere pure.
I can control my jewel
because I know my purpose.
Can you tell me what yours is?
I am so proud of what you've become.
Take care of yourself and the Chosen.
Never leave her side.
You will need each other.
Take a look at that flock of birds.
Every bird in that flock has a purpose.
The lead bird cuts the wind,
the others protect each other
and allow them passage through the skies,
like an arrow through the heavens.
Do you understand?
I think so.
I thought my purpose was to protect the Chosen,
but I don't know how to anymore.
My beads don't work,
and Iyanu's more powerful than ever.
If she doesn't need a protector,
then what's my purpose?
It will be all right, child.
Oba Uwa, if the Deep attacks,
then every man, woman, and child
must be prepared to defend our home.
What are you suggesting, General?
A citywide expansion of our greatest fighting tactic,
The Way of the Tortoise.
It is time the civilians learn to fight.
This sounds a bit extreme, Kanfo,
but I agree that we should bolster our defenses
just in case.
Perhaps,
but we would be taking resources
away from the reconstruction effort
and the cleanup crews.
Ugh...
so much filth.
With all due respect, my king,
an Oba must act for the good of his subjects,
and if the People of the Deep invade,
there will be no one left for you to rule.
And... water!
Wow.
How useful.
- Toye! - Aah!
Maybe Mama Sewa gave these to the wrong person.
Don't say that.
It belonged to your father.
That's why Mama Sewa gave you the beads.
You were meant to have these,
but you need to open yourself to the pain inside,
just like I had to.
Did you really?
Have you dealt with the pain inside of you?
See?
That's exactly how I feel.
You should only give advice
that you've actually followed.
If water won't work,
then how about earth?
Purpose...
Purpose!
No!
Biyi...
it's okay.
No, it's not!
I'm just trying to do the right thing
and protect you,
but every time anyone tries to do the right thing,
they end up dead.
Mama Sewa, my father,
it never works out!
So what's going to happen to me?
I...
Biyi...
Everyone, look!
We're here...
The Borderlands.
This must be where
the burst of Divine Energy came from.
This is...
strange.
No villagers, no livestock...
Where is everyone?
Hmm?
Ambush!
Greetings...
"Chosen".
Wait...
is that...?
That's Adura!
Queen of the Deep!
Fight.
Wonda!
To your right!
My queen?
Do you think this is wise?
It's been a long march.
Let the troops have some fun.
This ends now!
Please, I am not your enemy.
I fought the Fallen One's shadow,
I ended the curse of the Corrupt,
and I made these lands safe for everyone,
including you.
Hello, Remi.
Um, actually, my name is Iyanu.
You are such a disappointment...
Um, hello?
...and a failure.
Can she not hear me?
And clearly,
you've had too much goat meat.
Not only did you leave our people,
but you joined with our enemies in Elu.
So sad to believe I looked up to you.
That's enough! You need to show some re--
The adults are talking.
Think what you will of me, child,
but the Chosen speaks the truth.
She saved these lands.
Did she?
Because I heard what happened at the Riverlands.
An entire settlement...
torched.
An elite Eso squad
wiped out,
and all on the Chosen's watch.
From what I hear,
it was easy.
How dare you?
Luckily for you,
I come with an offer.
How about we skip an all-out war
and settle this right now...
one on one.
Iyanu...
If you won't accept peace,
I'll be forced to stop you myself...
permanently.
Ooh...
I'm shaking.
Um... uh... huddle!
Hmm?
Excuse me?
Team Chosen, huddle!
This is highly irregular.
Be right back, thanks!
Are you sure this is a good idea?
I've never seen you like this.
I don't like it.
Well, I don't like her disrespect!
Besides,
if I beat Adura,
I can end a war before it begins.
I-I guess so.
If it makes The Deep hurt, I'm in.
No.
This is clearly a trap,
and you still cannot activate your divine armor,
or even use your supernatural abilities at all.
I don't need armor.
I'm the Chosen.
Adura will lose...
just like Nuro.
I'm waiting!
